Chapter Five

It was now mid-December in the sleepy town of Port Charles, flurries elated the young children -as well as Spinelli- and the countdown to Christmas began. On a paticularly cold morning Alexis stepped off the elevator of General Hospital nervously. Jason had called her an hour earlier asking her to meet him there. She had left Sam to babysit and sped over there nearly running two red lights, normally she would never jump through hoops for a man but something about Jason was calling her closer and closer. There was that light playful sense of a newfound relationship and Alexis was enjoying it.

As soon as her eyes met his, Jason gestured over to Alexis with a grin on his face. She looked amazing with her chestnut hightlighted hair falling softly against her cashmere clad shoulders. Smiling she followed him to the dark coridoor that led to the pediatrics wing. Opening the supply closet door Jason ushered her in with a flicker of mischeif in his mesmerizing blue eyes. Closing the door behind them they were alone in the darkness, Jason's hands roamed around Alexis' back.

"This is very unlike you." Alexis murmmered as Jason kissed her neck softly. He had found small ways to hold her close while still respecting that they had only been together for a couple of weeks. Whether it was his hand on her knee while they sat in her office or kissing her neck softly while she and Sam chattered away on the phone he loved the feel of her skin against his. But now they were in a very public place and Alexis secretly enjoyed that they were important enough to him to ask to meet.

"I missed you, I haven't seen you alone in two whole days." he smiled as his lips met hers. Pulling her closely he pressed her up against the stock shelf and kept his lips on hers.

Alexis wrappd her arms around Jason's neck and felt butterflies in her stomach again. It had been such a long time since she had felt this way about a man, sure she had been attracted to Jerry Jacks but that was nothing compared to the way she felt about Jason. The creaking sound of the door opening made Alexis jump, pulling away she gasped to see Elizabeth Webber standing in the doorway. Her blue eyes were wide as she looked at Jason in horror, her face crumpled as Jason untangled himself from Alexis. Alexis felt the guilt wash over her, it was silent, only the wringing of Jason's hands could be heard.

"I'll...I didn't realize...I didn't know..." Elizabeth trailed off, her voice small and shaky.

"I didn't mean to hurt you with this. But...it happened and I was going to tell you today. I'm really sorry you hand to find out this way Elizabeth." Jason sighed and suddenly he looked like he had the weight of the world on his shoulders. Alexis lowered her eyes so she was staring at the floor, laying her head softly against Jason's tense back.

"Well obviously you two had something going on. But I understand that everyone makes bad decisions after deaths and with the holidays coming up I know you are missing Emily." Elizabeth sighed. "I just want you to know that it's alright, I forgive you and we'll raise our son together just like you said you wanted."

Alexis felt a knot in her stomach, this was it. This was the end of the road for her and Jason, he would go to his family and she would be alone again. She knew that the oppurtunity would come up eventually but she hadn't wanted to spoil things with Jason by bringing it up so soon.

"No...Elizabeth, I don't think you understand what I'm saying. I want to be with Alexis, I want to have a relationship with her." Jason said softly. He had loved Elizabeth but things were changing and he felt himself wanting to be with Alexis more and more each day.

Alexis' eyes widened, she felt her heartbeat quicken and her legs turn to mush. Jason's words echoed in her mind, he wanted to be with her, he wanted a relationship with her. She ran a hand over his discreetly feeling the electricity between their skin.

"You're really going to throw away everything we have for her?" Elizabeth asked incredously.

Alexis filled with rage, sure Elizabeth wasn't her fracvorite person but she had felt bad fro the youdn nurse up until now. Sam had been right, Elizabeth rode around town on her high horse thinking she was better than everybody else. Pushing her way in front of Jason Alexis looked Elizabeth square in the eye.

"Listen Elizabeth, I'm very sorry that you found out about Jason and I the way you did but I will not be talked about in that way. I respect you so I expect the same treatment." Alexis stated slowly so there would be no confusion.

"You are just like your daughter...a dirty man stealing slut." Elizabeth scoffed dissparovingly.

"Elizabeth..." Jason warned angrily. "Do not talk about Alexis or Sam that way, this isn't Sam's fault and its not Alexis' fault. It's mine, I should have told you how I felt about Alexis from the start. Now if you don't mind I need to talk to Alexis alone."

"You mean you have to feel her up in a supply closet." Elizabeth muttered immaturely before walking off with tears in her big blue eyes.

Jason sighed she really was beautiful, and smart and commited to her children. But he couldn't help it if he didnt he didn't want to be with her, everytime he looked at Alexis he knew that right know she was the one he wanted a relationship with. He didn't know what would happen in the future but that wouldn't stop him from exploring a relationship with Alexis.

"I don't like her. " Alexis snarled laying her head on Jason's chest feeling the rise of his chest as he inhaled. She felt Jason's strong arms wrap around her and pull her towards him. His lips met hers and he kept his strong hands on the small of her back.

"I'm sorry about that." he murmmered as she kissed him.

"I don't want to talk about her anymore." Alexis winked as Jason pressed her up against the shelves.

"Will you go out with me?" Jason asked softly as he laid kisses on her neck.

"Go out with you? In public?" Alexis asked arching a perfectly plucked eyebrow.

"I understand that it might be too soon but I was thinking... Carly's making me go to this New Years Ever Ball at the Metro Court and I wanted you to be my date." Jason shrugged and looked at the floor sheepishly.

Alexis had to laugh, Jason looked like a high schooler asking the girl he liked to the prom. Smiling she wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her lips to his ear.

"I would love to go out with you." she whispered.

Jason felt shivers go up and down his spine when he felt Alexis' warm breath against his ear. Pressing his hip against hers Jason pulled her into a kiss. The ringing of his cell phone interrupted their kiss and he sighed deeply as he let go of Alexis.

"I'll be right there" he said after a minute.

"Sonny?" Alexis asked already knowing the answer.

"I don't want to go but I have to. Sonny has some buisness for me to take care of." he sighed pressing his lips against hers once more.

"You so owe me later." Alexis smiled in what she hoped was a some-what sensual and desire filled way. It had been so long since she had done this sort of thing that she feared she was getting rusty.

"I'll make it up to you." Jason winked.

"Come by when you get a chance." Alexis smiled and pressed a quick kiss to Jason's temple before opening the door and striding out as if she hadn't just made out with a known hitman, been caught by his baby mama and arranged a date for New Years.

Jason whistled softly, he liked this chick.
